It's 12:29. I'm thinking about the moon. It's one of those "Sufjan Stevens" nights. His music always manages to perfectly translate my befuddling feelings and thoughts into rhythm and beat. If I rest now I will miss out on what the night has to offer. It's 1:07 I'm lying in bed. I hear my mom on the phone with grandma. They always manage to keep the conversation fresh and perpetual despite the 8,096 mile distance. If I let my eyes close now morning and work will arrive faster. It's 2:03 I give up on homework. I open the laptop to watch Netflix. I re-watch a show I've seen a dozen times. If I escape to dreamland, this sense of knowing of what is to come will be stolen by the uncertainty of the subconscious. It's 4:32 I'm filled with sadness. I have procrastinated badly. I abruptly jump out of bed and head downstairs to brew coffee. If I go to sleep, I will regret it in the morning when I will face the consequences of my laziness and late night reasoning.
